Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. I look up at the stars at night And watch them as they glow I see the moon up in the sky And feel like I am home All the beauty all around Gets me every time And I feel so grateful in my heart It’s good to be alive
2. Surrounded by the ones I love It’s like nothing could go wrong Here with my family and my friends I’m right here I belong All the people in my world Make the sun more bright And I feel so grateful in my heart It’s good to be alive
Though there are times that try my faith And bring me to my knees No matter what whatever I’ve got Is exactly what I need
3. So I count my blessings one by one And I can’t help but smile ’Cause I’ve had help along the way With every single mile And I know that it only gets better As I look to the sky And I feel so grateful in my heart It’s good to be alive
La la la la la la la La la la la la la La la la la la la la La la la la la la Though there are times that try my faith And bring me to my knees No matter what whatever I’ve got Is exactly what I need
4. So I count my blessings one by one And I can’t help but smile ’Cause I’ve had help along the way With every single mile And I know that it only gets better As I look to the sky And I feel so grateful in my heart It’s good to be alive And I feel so grateful in my heart It’s good to be alive
La la la la la la la La la la la la la La la la la la la la La la la la la la Though there are times that try my faith And bring me to my knees No matter what whatever I’ve got Is exactly what I need
